This month’s poet is Frank McMahon. His poem “Emperor Akhbar Seeks Ultimate Truth” is available to read here.
It is one of the poems featured in Frank’s third collection, ‘The Light Will Always Return,’ which will be launched on April 17th.
There are shadows in the book: loss, environmental concerns, conflict, but the abiding theme is hope and optimism.
Frank said: ‘These essential qualities of living are present around us but also need to be generated by our resilience and willingness to work towards protection and restoration.’
“The Light Will Always Return” published by Tim Saunders Publications will be available in paperback, hardback and as an e-book from Waterstones, Amazon and other bookshops.
